Hello,

My first problem is that i run powershell with admin rights and ran chkdsk f: /f /r . I thought it would restart pc after that but no, just started running chkdsk until now, so i could access the disk. Now, after about 3 hours total progress is 0%, but in phase 2, is this normal? should i wait? HD is not SSD and with 3.63TB capacity. I made chkdsk previously with CMD and didnt take so long, maybe is slower cause didnt boot windows?

Another problem is that the hard drive which made the windows boot was hit and cant be recovered. I had a SSD with the old windows partition, but dont know why needed this other hard drive to boot, i couldnt start Windows so i saw in the internet that could use bootrec /fixmbr, then bootrec /fixboot and then bootrec /rebuildcbd but that just made it worse. After making a clean install in other SSD i see the old windows partition in the other SSD shows my partition with all the data as EFI dont know why and cant access it, i tried to assign it a letter but gives me access denied

    Cause i couldnt start windows, so i used my windows cd, and run the commands bootrec /fixmbr, then bootrec fixboot and then bootrec rebuilbcd. I made a clean install in other hard drive and now i see the partition where all my data was as EFI partition, it is not in a letter so i cannot access it, when i got to assign a letter to it explorer doesnt open it, it is where all my data is, is hundreds of GB that Windows made a disaster and converted it to EFI without i asking for it, so i need to recover all that data, the result is that i want to get access to all that GB of data in that partition. Windows assigned as system partition which gave a letter to other partition without almost space and to the main one with all the data gave the EFI partition which cant be accessed.
